In the darkness of your mind, I’ll stand by your side and remove all your fear, but first, let me liveblog this here pro wrestling show for these folks.
The show opens with the intro video.
“Hangman” Adam Page is seeing an ambulance off and we’re informed that the Young Bucks were brutally attacked before the show began and are in fact the ones being carted off in ambulances.
Page hops in the back of Nick Jackson’s ambulance while Don Callis keeps Kenny Omega at the arena for his match against El Hijo del Vikingo later tonight.
Darby Allin, Orange Cassidy, & Sting vs. Kip Sabian & the Butcher and the Blade (Andy “Butcher” Williams & Pepper “Blade” Parks)
Cassidy and Sabian to start, in and out of the ring, Kip is about to take a walk but Orange puts the hands in his pants and he comes back! No hands dropkick, kip-up, tags made. Butcher squares up with Sting, right hands, the Icon shrugs them off and fires his own punches back!
Backing Williams into the corner, he pushes Sting across the ring and bites his head! Clearing the apron, Stinger backsplash, pick the legs but the heels fill the ring and cut him off! Match breaks down, babyfaces to the floor, heels holding court, double suplex on Sting!

Dante and Austin to start, Martin with right hands, springboard arm drag, Colten and Darius in, the match breaks down, stereo clotheslines from Top Flight send the champs to the floor! Colten runs interference, Dante is on the back foot, and we go to break!

Ass Boys win by pinfall with 3:10 to Yuma on Dante Martin, retaining the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
Post-match, FTR make their entrance to confront the Ass Boys in the ring. Cash Wheeler says they’re not here to fight, they just want to talk business. The Gunns call them losers and say they don’t want to talk, because there’s nothing they can say or offer that will earn them a title shot.
Wheeler brings up a “never challenge again” clause and they scream about how they have nothing to ofer. Cash escalates with a breakup clause in AEW, but still the Gunns won’t budge. Dax Harwood grabs the mic and says if they can’t beat the Gunns for the AEW World Tag Team Championship, they’ll quit AEW entirely.
The Ass Boys accept that deal and offer handshakes, but they were a ruse to spit in FTR’s face!
Jade Cargill is interviewed backstage alongside Leila Grey and “Smart” Mark Sterling.
She runs Taya Valkyrie down and Sterling offers up a cease and desist on Taya’s use of Jaded. Leila offers to deliver it personally at Rampage, and Jade welcomes Valkyrie to That Bitch Show.
HOOK vs. Stokely Hathaway (No Disqualification Match)
Stokely Hathaway gets on the mic and says the ringside doctor didn’t clear him for this match and coincidentally, he’s retiring tonight. He passes his doctor’s note to ring announcer Justin Roberts, and it’s a WingStop receipt with “HE’S SICK” written on it.
Roberts calls him on it, referee Bryce Remsburg tears it in half, and we have a bell!
Hathaway runs away through the crowd, HOOK gives chase and catches him near the stairs! HOOK throws him back to ringside and shrugs off a running uppercut from Big Stoke! Pump kick caught... HOOK DROPS HIM WITH A GALLON THROW! In the ring, HOOK goes under for a steel barricade and slides in the ring while the Firm worry backstage that they haven’t prepared Hathaway for this.
Stoke rolls to the floor, fire extinguisher, he sprays it in HOOK’s eyes! Hathaway grabs a chair and goes back inside, HOOK takes it from him with ease and wallops him with the chair repeatedly! Stokely’s out, HOOK hits the Tazplex into the guardrail! Lateral press, he pulls up before three...
HOOK wins by referee stoppage with Redrum.
Backstage, Matt Hardy gives Ethan Page a pep talk and tells him he can avenge Stoke!
And so we go to break.
Back from commercial, we see Tech N9ne in the front row.
Adam Cole makes his entrance and gets on the mic.
He asks who’s ready for story time and says we’re seven days away from his in-ring return here in AEW. He knows he’s talked a ton about his struggles but he feels freaking great right now. He’s never been more ready to get back to doing what he loves to do, and that’s wrestle for AEW.
He knows everyone has questions, including who his opponent is going to be.
Enter “Red Death” Daniel Garcia.
He asks who’s ready for story time and says he’s become a real veteran, a locker room leader, and in that capacity he thought it was his duty to come out here and not just welcome Cole back, but to put him in his place, too. While Cole was at home playing video games, Garcia beat Brody King, Ricky Starks, and Bryan Danielson.
He’s main evented more AEW programming over the past year than anyone else in this roster, he’s the lifeblood of this company, and Cole wants him to be welcomed back? He’s proven he’s one of the best pro wres— sports entertainers on the planet today, and if that’s what he is, what makes Adam Cole so special?
Cole says the ring of the bell makes him special, and he likes Garcia and thinks he could be the guy someday, but the Jericho Appreciation Society have made him overconfident. Adam lists off his bonafides and says if Daniel wants to challenge him next week, he’s on.
But he’s gonna make a statement next week that he’s back, bay bay. Cole promises him that next week is gonna be a great night for himself and for the fans, but for Garcia? Not so much.
Alex Marvez is outside of Kenny Omega’s dressing room and walks in.
Don Callis is arguing with Kenny Omega, and Kenny is distraught that he didn’t get to go with the Young Bucks in the ambulance and Don tries to spin it as beneficial, because now Kenny can focus on his singles match tonight. Callis turns to the camera and cuts a promo saying the God of Pro Wrestling is back and it starts tonight.
Jon Moxley vs. Stu Grayson
Grayson with shoulder thrusts and punches in the corner, Moxley turns him around and lays chops in! Choking him in the corner, putting boots to him, pins in a test of strength and then into a side headlock. Shot off, shoulder block, Jon falls to the floor and throws a chair!
Stu throws him back inside, Frankensteiner connects, up and over blocked and Mox hits a Saito suplex! Blasting Grayson off the apron with a shoulder block and we go to break!

Jon Moxley wins by pinfall with an avalanche Death Rider.
“Absolute” Ricky Starks is interviewed backstage.
He’s sick and tired of talking back and forth and he has to take time off his vacation early just to tell Juice Robinson he doesn’t like that he attacked him? On Rampage, he’s done talking, and Juice can find him, man-to-man, and if not, just stop. He’s over it, he’s sick of it, and it’s the craziest thing he’s been part of in his whole life.
And so we go to break.
Back from commercial, we go to the QTV offices.
They run footage of Rey Fenix getting beaten by Powerhouse Hobbs on Friday and make fun of him and Alex Abrahantes.
They have a laugh about Aaron Solo stealing Wardlow’s identity and losing his house. Hobbs is issuing another open challenge on Rampage.
We’re immediately informed that Penta el Zero M will be accepting it.
Skye Blue vs. Toni Storm
Storm charging in, putting boots to Blue in the corner, smashing her face into the turnbuckles! Skye with an elbow up, forearms, whip across, front kick, Toni shoves her away but eats a single knee facebreaker and a dropkick that sends her to the floor!
Blue with a tijeras off the apron, fired up, back inside, Storm cuts her off with a right hand! Off the ropes, hip attack sends Skye crashing to the floor and Saraya and Ruby Soho get their licks in on Blue! Toni out after her, putting her into the apron, chops against the post, and so we go to break.
